dwalk Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 No motor work other then GT2/3 cam. Previous owner did some trams work (????) and when I got the truck (@70,000 miles IIRC) the trams wasn't right. The truck was detuned and had heavy torque management. I tried to remove some of that and it immediately would slip on the 1/2 shift. Shortly after, bought a used performance trans around 100,000 miles and did ok but I ended up having some issues with it and pulled it for a rebuild. Had a local guy who built the glide in my race do the trans. He did a really. Ice job and it's been in there for 30,000 miles or more at my current 12.20 power level. It has billet input, output shafts, bigger spray, clutches, servos etc. pretty much the works and has been great. Trans will be your issue like everyone else so do it right the first time. Good luck. So that gt2/3 cam does good with our stock top end? I'm at 120k now and I want more power but I'm nervous about my tranny and motor. My next move is a new tranny..

slowfive0 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Does great, but you have to replace the valvesprings (that was done on mine). Stock idle --- love it!!! Great move to do trans first. To original poster, one of my friends son was out at Lapeer last year and went 12.44 with a bone stock 2012 mustang!!! WTF, that seemed unbelievable how fast these cars are. It was dark blue and he did a lot of testing out there last fall in the cool air---not sure if you made it out or not and maybe seen him..... So that gt2/3 cam does good with our stock top end?

Jokers SS Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Yea he let me drive it. It definitely pulls hard! 12.44 is crazy fast for a stock 5.0! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowfive0 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 No doubt!!! I seen one of them the other day with a big Livernois sticker across the window and big and littles. Had cams and a gear. I WANT ONE! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
